I currently serve as the Director General and Chairman of the Board at Slovakia's Cyber Security Competence and Certification Centre and a member of the the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre Governing Board. My career in cybersecurity spans significant roles across the private and public sectors, including a stint as an Executive Consultant at IBM Security Services and Chief Security Officer at several major banks. I specialize in strategic decision-making within the European cybersecurity community, coordinating national cybersecurity initiatives, and spearheading innovative research and development in cybersecurity and information technologies.
I am involved in essential insights and testimonies in a legal context, advancing cybersecurity education and certification programs, aiming to enhance national cybersecurity capabilities and awareness. I actively participate in leading industry bodies, including ISACA, ECSO, ENISA, AKB, and the ISO/IEC.
